Is my streptocarpus pod ripe?

I have a Streptocarpus with lots of long pods. (the one I have in the Gallery)
One is beginning to go brown, and today when I looked at it with a magnifying glass I could see gaps beginning in the spiral.
Is it ready to cut off, or do I need to leave it until the gaps are bigger?
When I have the seeds, can I sow them straight away? |

| Cut it off now - and be careful - otherwise your seeds are lost. I think it is a perfect time - tomorrow will be too late. You can sow them right away - or sow 25 seeds and park the rest in a zip bag. If you want to keep them viable for years - put them in a fridge. I. |

I have cut it off and managed not to scatter them all over the windowsill!
I'll sow some tomorrow. |
